I recently took the plunge with my 3 wood and put a DG S200 shaft in it. Almost immediately I noticed tighter dispersion, better feel and more consistent distances. I was surprised.
At the same time I was tinkering with my 3w I was testing driver lofts. I usually use 10.5* but wanted to test lower lofts. I am a high ball hitter naturally. I used the same shaft, Diamana BB 83, and the difference in distance was minimal. I felt like the 9.5 was a bit better.
The bigger problem was that I was hitting the driver roughly the same length as my 3w. Three wood is a TEE CB1. Divers I have tested are Nike VR Pro Lt Ed, R5 TP, Titleist 909d2.
So, is this more a function of loft or shaft? Do i need more or less loft? I went to a heavier driver shaft, I could try an X flex. I could try steel.
Thoughts? Thanks!
